Juventus started its season with a short but controlled victory on the pitch at Frosinone (0-1). The Bianconeri quickly took control of the proceedings and created several clear chances, notably through Kolo Muani and Conceição. After a first duel won by Palmisani against the Frenchman, Bremer finally broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute by heading a precise cross from Conceição. Juventus could have made the break before the break, with another header from Bremer then a huge opportunity for Kalulu, whose attempt was pushed back onto the post by Palmisani before the goalkeeper again intervened in front of Yildiz. Frosinone, however, reacted, forcing Vicario to work on a strike from Bracaglia, but Juve remained dangerous after the locker room, notably through Conceição, still very close to doubling the lead. Spalletti then injected new blood with Boga, Koopmeiners and Zhegrova to maintain their advantage, allowing Juventus to secure all three points despite a more balanced end to the match.
In the other meeting, Lecce also started its season with an away success, winning (0-2) against promoted Venezia. However, the locals had started the debates well and created several situations, including a Busio shot that went very close and an important save from Falcone in front of Yeboah. Venezia even found the net through Correia, but his goal was disallowed for a handball, before Coulibaly found the post a few minutes later. After a lively but scoreless first period, Lecce struck as soon as they returned from the locker room through Gorter, whose shot deflected by Kike Pérez left Stankovic no chance. Venezia then pushed to come back, but Falcone held on in several situations, while Lecce finally delivered the final blow in the 80th minute thanks to Tiago Gabriel, who entered a few minutes earlier and headed in a Veiga cross. Stulic then missed a huge opportunity to reduce the gap, leaving Lecce to come away with a clear and valuable victory for this first day of Serie A.
